Our community is saddened to hear of the passing of one of the great ones, Evan Stark. He wrote about coercive control to end it in 2009 & just graced us w his powerful work on children. Between these books he spoke, shared and saved lives. So many of us are eternally grateful.
Domestic abuse is an epidemic in our society. Nearly one in five crimes recorded by police are domestic-abuse related, while the economic and social cost was just under £72 billion in 2022. #GeneralElection2024
Richard Spencer suffered a 20-year campaign of coercive control and physical attacks from his ex-partner. Now, Richard shares his story alongside horrific nanny-cam footage of the attacks in a Ch5 doc, 'My Wife, My Abuser: The Secret Footage' airing Monday.https://t.co/xZD7lH3A8K
Tonight (18th March) 10pm on channel 5 is a 90 minute documentary featuring Richard Spencer, a male survivor of domestic abuse. Well worth watching to increase understanding.
@karenevansdaf This brave man was on Breakfast TV this morning. We all know the Domestic Abuse perpetrators are in the majority male, but there are 1 in 7 men who report DA, which I suggest is the tip of the iceberg. Defo worth a watch
@yasminjaved5 I watched The Push this week, and my heart breaks for you and your family. You all conducted yourselves with such dignity, you are all amazing. I work in the DA field and we just have to keep fighting to promote awareness. Bless you.xx
I fear for the safety of victims of domestic abuse amid plans to release prisoners early.
Government must exempt perpetrators of domestic abuse from these plans.
Victims should not pay the price for prison overcrowding.
Thank you @Mollie_Malone1
Plans to release prisoners early could be dangerous for domestic abuse victims. They should not pay the price for prison overcrowding.
I am calling for a specific exemption of perpetrators of domestic abuse and stalking.
Thank you @matt_dathan
